Beat the Burglars – Take Care This Summer

Summer is a busy time of year for Fethiye’s emergency services. Help them and yourselves by being responsible, whether you are a holidaymaker or homeowner.

Do not leave valuables, laptops, cameras, mobile phones, wallets etc lying around when you are out – invest in a safe

If you are in the back garden, or around the swimming pool make sure the windows and doors at the front of your property are securely closed

Make sure all vulnerable doors and windows have locks and professionally fitted grills

If you are renting a property insist on an appropriate level of security and professionally installed safety deposit box as part of your holiday contract

Homeowners should consider having an alarm fitted. These can deter thieves from attempting to break-in but is not an excuse for leaving your property vulnerable

Invest in an automatic timer for interior lights

Invest in automatic exterior lighting and security cameras

Who has keys to your property? If you aren’t sure, change the locks immediately

Just in case the worse does happen, make sure you have comprehensive contents’ insurance

But what if you are confronted by a burglar on your property?

You can use force to protect yourself or your property. A pepper spray, available locally, is a good method. However, just remember that a confronted burglar is potentially dangerous so any weapon you use could be used against you!
